Short podcast clip in which Josh Trent asks about common ways men are harmed; Speaker B argues the primary harm is men’s inability to express emotions, describing this emotional suppression as a denial of self that turns men into 'machines' and leads to later 'midlife' awakenings when they must rediscover themselves. The clip critiques societal pressure that equates emotional expression with weakness.

Is there a through line of like one, two or three ways of being that are harming most men?
The number one thing that's harming most men is their inability to express because the inability to express is like the denial of self. The denial of self makes machines out of men. It doesn't make humans out of men, it doesn't make lovers out of men, it doesn't make creative men. And then they come to you in the quote unquote midlife crisis which is really just a man's awakening to the fact that he's never lived a day of his life for himself and he has to find himself all over again. And it's because of the societal expectation and pressure that men need to be machines and not humans. And men play into it. They don't want to express their emotions because they have bought into the idea that they are weak. So it's very hard to break that stigma and that self shame and that self judgment.
